It’s the View

I’ve featured this window before. I took the photo when visiting a friend and I heartily envy her this nook. The view is directly onto the lighthouse of Roker Beach in Sunderland. I ordinarily don’t eat breakfast and as I’ve often said: “I don’t do sunrises” but with this window seat I would change my routine just for the pleasure of sitting there and gazing out over the waves.

Wood & Metal, Sun & Rain, Sweat & Tears

The statue of the mouse (from The Gruffalo fame) is less than two years old. The wood has weathered well so far, as has the yellow coat of paint but a bit of photographic weathering deepens the cracks and fissures. Photoscape has an antique photo filter to round off the look.

This metal and wood sculpture of a warrior has been weathered by rain and wind and sun and given a dark vignette around the outside to complete the picture.

This sun, again enhanced with an antique photo filter from photoscape and artificial back lighting, looks a lot more weathered now.

Finally, a black panther made of metal and covered in rust, has been contrast heightened and backlit and scratched.
